I don't like seeing us sitting at #8. I thought we were ranked way too high in last year's preseason poll and would feel much better if we were sitting in the 15-25 range somewhere and had to prove ourselves in order to move up.

'Cuse, Kansas, and Gonzaga are my teams. I think a top 25 spot is justifiable for Syracuse, but it should be probably be in the lower end. You're right, 10 is too high. Joseph should be a stud this year, and Jardine and Triche should have breakout years, with Jackson being a solid post contributor. Melo should be good...just not nearly as good as the other Melo who was at 'Cuse. Those 5 don't scream top 10 team, but Boeheim has done more with less before.
